Rutherford Law, P.C.

Rutherford Law, P.C. is the leading Family Law Practice in Chicago. Whatever the transition, Rutherford Law is here to help. When two people start a relationship or live together, there’s a lot of hope, love, and shared excitement. That excitement grows and changes, and sometimes people decide to maintain their relationship on paper but live separately or together less often. Sometimes they realize that they don’t want to be in a romantic relationship anymore. Other times, relationships become strained or complicated, and people need to make difficult choices about how to end them. For some, the end of a relationship is a temporary state. They may want to start again and rebuild together, or they may find that they are ready to move on once and for all. Some couples come together in unique ways and need help creating a legal relationship that reflects the love and care they feel for one another. Sometimes the past comes to light and a family or relationship must face the harm done by another person, often a parent or significant other, and decide what is best for the family or the child. As a Family Law Practice, our ultimate goal is to scrupulously help families in transition, whether they are entering or exiting relationships, expanding, or looking to protect the legacy they have built. We focus on family law, divorce and annulment law, child custody and support law, paternity law, adoption and guardianship, DCFS investigations and appeals, LQBTQ family law, estate planning law, and real estate law. With Rutherford Law, we ensure that we take your case both personally and professionally. Every case we take is treated with the same care and respect we’d show any member of our family, and we’ll fight for the best possible outcome every step of the way. Come talk to us; we’re here to listen.
